Red Sox Prospect Makes Highlight-Reel Catch Over Obstacle

Matthew Lugo is on a tear at the plate in the Boston Red Sox farm system to start the season. Lugo plays left field in Double-A this season with the Portland Sea Dogs and turned in what may be the defensive play of the year in the Red Sox organization so far in 2024. During a Saturday doubleheader against the Reading Fightin Phils, Lugo ranged over into foul territory on a looping fly ball. With the ball set to land in the visitors' bullpen, the Red Sox prospect went airborne, flipping over the fence to make the sensational catch for the out.
